Loving Care, 24/7 Companionship

I’ve been caring for dogs since 2013 and dogs have always been a huge part of my life. My first pup, Miko was a Pomeranian I adopted as a senior in 2013. He sadly passed away in 2018, but he taught me so much about caring for older dogs and giving them the patience, comfort, and love they deserve. In 2019, I adopted Dash, and it’s been me and him ever since. Through Dash, I’ve also gained a lot of experience caring for a dog with separation anxiety, and I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pup with someone new. Because of that, I’m especially attentive to dogs who struggle when their humans are away. I have a flexible schedule so your dog will never be left alone while in my care. I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for and not like they’ve simply been dropped off somewhere. When your dog boards with me, it will be a team effort between me and Dash! Dash loves having company and if your pup is comfortable and enjoys other dogs, they’ll have a friendly companion to hang out and play with throughout their stay. Of course, I always take each dog’s personality and comfort level into consideration and make sure interactions are safe and positive. My goal is to make your dog feel like they’re having a little vacation of their own while giving you peace of mind that they’re in loving, attentive hands. I’ll treat your pup like family and keep you updated so you never have to wonder how they’re doing! 🐾❤️

Our dog had a blast hanging with Francesca, her partner and Dash! She took our dog to enjoy park plays and also a trip to the beach. She was also very communicative by sending pics and it was easy to pick up/drop off. Would definitely recommend and our dog is ready for her next adventure with them ☺️🐾

Francesca watched my lab for a week while I was on vacation and did a wonderful job! She sent pictures for my peace of mind and I never had any doubts that my dog was in good hands. When I returned, my dog looked so happy! I've also seen how Francesca takes care of her own dog, Dash. Dash is always well groomed, he loves going on walks with her, and you can tell she is a responsible owner. I highly recommend Francesca for dog-sitting!

Francesca is one of the most responsible people on Rover! There is no one I would sooner trust to watch my dog. She is great with all pets and will treat your little one like her own.

“Francesca watched my dog Cairo a few times when I was out of town. She walked him regularly and fed him on schedule. I felt comfortable I left Cairo with someone caring while I was away. Cairo came back happy and she made a Google photo album of him”

Francesca is a very diligent, caring and responsible caregiver. I am very selective in choosing a dog sitter for my dog, Duke but I knew he would be in great hands. She made sure to ask very specific questions on how many times to feed Duke a day, how often he needs to go out to pee, and how long she should take him on a walk. While I was on vacation she made sure to give me updates and to send photos of Duke to reassure me that he is having a great time with her. Overall, I 10/10 recommend Francesca as a reliable pet sitter!!!

I have a flexible schedule so I can give your fur babies plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I would feed your dog after their morning walk and night walk unless otherwise instructed. I would take the dogs on a potty break every 4 hours unless otherwise instructed.

Safety, trust & environment

My dog’s name is Dash for a reason! 🤪 He loves to try to run out whenever he sees a door open and can be a bit of an escape artist. Because of this, I learned to be especially careful when opening exterior doors and making sure the dog is secured before opening the door.
